American Male

from Eve Lesov - Selected Tracks by Eve Lesov

lyrics

Oopsy daisy, I am thirty two.
The way I say this - you know I'm boring, too.
The way I say this - you wish you were far away.
Not in the same room with this awkward lady.
Dear lord, I don't have a man.
Don't have me a dog, Got myself no plan.
Dear lord, make me disappear!
My, oh, my! Why am I still here?!
High school classmates will be grandmas soon.
Russian standards: marry or me doomed.
Mama, mama tells me every day
That I missed my chance, that I have so failed.

American Male, take me with you!
I'll be your true
partner in life!
The part you want I'll
play
for you,
American Male, oh, I can cook.
I'll clean your house.
American Male, order me by mail.

On this website I found a guy: looks young.
He says he's fifty. I think this can be done.
He looks athletic, he says he writes poetry,
In every letter he shares his last night's dream.
I thought it wise to say that I'm nineteen.
That I'm small size, that I'm a beauty queen.
I posted pictures from my high school prom
With all my features in that photo drowned.
Oklahoma! You're my promised land!
Mama! Mama! This is it: the chance!
This man is richer than you could've ever dreamt.
Oh, how I'll ditch ya, motherland!

JFK. me and my suitcase.
I finally came to this sacred place.
A feeble old man is holding a huge sign
With my name on it. I guess, he's mine.
Now he also sees me: oh, how his fake jaw drops!
Donn't get me wrong, I've got charisma, but I'm a two out of ten tops.
I'm not exactly a pretty juvenile. But I will get him up the aisle.
We drive in his Ford Taurus, I'm guessing '98,
to Bradley, Oklahoma, 26 hours straight,
Unload in front of something he dare call his house.
But I'm not giving up: I'm making him my spouse!

American Male, you took me with you!
I'll be your true
partner in life!
The part you want I'll
play
for you,
American Male, oh, I will cook.
I'll clean your house.
American Male, ordered me by mail.
